Set Out Running Lyrics

Cover art for Set Out Running lyrics by Neko Case

This was probably the first Neko solo track I heard and one that had the greatest impact.

Of all the CDs and vinyl that I own and all the songs on them, this one will always be the one I think of when I think of the word "forlorn". That's an incredible voice she has.

The lines: "cause I just can't shake this feeling that I'm nothing in your eyes" are just amazing.

The lines: "want to crawl down deep inside the springs inside the mattress where l cry my dirty secrets"

seem almost country-cliche but don't come across that way when I actually listen to the song.

This is one of the few songs I can't listen to because it's good enough to feel personal every time. It's so good. Makes you want to be somewhere else.
